Important news—our journal is moving to Bluesky! Follow us there, @edpsychjournal.bsky.social, as we continue engaging with thought-provoking and innovative work in Educational Psychology.
@EdPsychJournal's new Special Issue on policy-oriented Ed Psych research is live and it is full of crucial insights into the role our field can play in educational policy! Follow us on Bluesky @edpsychjournal.bsky.social for more on each paper. https://t.co/ANBy2lTDb0
Exciting findings form a meta-analysis by D. Jake Follmer for @EdPsychJournal! Results from a sample of 6,673 "supported a moderate positive association between executive function and reading comprehension (r = .36)". https://t.co/MV5EP83fXV 1/5
To learn more about the nuances of these findings, as well as their implications for future research and our theoretical models of reading comprehension, be sure to give the full paper a read! 5/5

Moderator analyses showed that though the relationship between executive function and reading comprehension didn't change according to participant age or the specific measures used in different studies, it did change based on the type of executive function being examined! 4/5

Importantly, we need to remain vigilant to the potential of SEL assessments to reify racial or gender gaps, and prevent these assessments from supporting deficit mindsets about racially and culturally diverse students. 4/5

Have you thought of the replicability of scientific results lately? I sure have! But how does this replicability relate to Educational Psychology specifically? In their @edpsychjournal paper, @JonathanPlucker and @MattMakel explore this question. https://t.co/hpe3z7ii0Z 1/4
By addressing each dimension in detail, including the challenges and benefits of replication endeavors, the authors conclude that “Replication is a necessary cornerstone for effective scientific endeavors, yet explicit replications are too rare within educational psychology.” 4/4

We can approach replication using several lenses:
- Philosophical (what is replication?)
- Methodological (how are replications conducted?)
- Professional (are replications good for scholars' careers?) and
- Utility-focused (how useful are replications?) 3/4
In their @EdPsychJournal systematic review, Yixun Li & Min Wang shed light on how children learn new words across cultures. What mechanisms (beyond direct instruction) are at play? Research within the Self-Teaching paradigm is considered. https://t.co/dQAqtq3qHG 1/4
